Chapter 119: Spiritual Operation
"It doesn’t matter if I become a cripple," Wei Zhen eventually declared. "I have to stop feeding energy to this evil organisation. Princess Zhao, please help me sever the connection inside me!"
With the objective changed, the bar of difficulty for Anji’s first spiritual operation suddenly became much lower. If it was merely severing the connection, Anji had full confidence in making that happen. Of course, ideally, she did not want to cripple her patient’s cultivation progress.
Gaining confidence, Anji agreed to help. Without wasting time, Bai Dajin and Gu Ying assisted with setting up an ideal treatment area, borrowing Bai Dajin’s bed.
"I will begin now," Anji informed, touching the Wei Zhen’s palms.
Closing their eyes, the room fell silent. Gu Ying and Bai Dajin watched from the side as Anji concentrated. Neither of them was an expert in energy manipulation. However, they had just enough knowledge to seal acupoints and disable a person in a frenzy.
Pulling out the energy from within her core, Anji gently transferred her energy threads into Wei Zhen’s body through his hands. The meridians resembled a dried-up creek. No matter how much energy Anji tried to supplement them with, they always disappeared. Following the direction of the vanishing energy, Anji followed the traces of a spell that quickly became familiar.
"Don’t supply your energy to feed the seal," the golden dragon warned. "Conserve it for later. Most seals like this would be hidden near the heart chakra or the solar plexus. Everything in the body must pass through the stomach or the heart. There are no exceptions."
Anji wanted to protest. All food passes through the stomach. But what about air? They passed through the lungs! However, the golden dragon was right about everything needed to pass through the heart. Hence, that was now her first destination.
Unsurprisingly, Anji was blocked before arriving at the heart’s centre. The meridian route was blocked like a dam. This was not the start of the siphon seal. It was the other end.
